Taking out a piece of mutton, Li Tai dipped it in the sauce and ate it, "Gu Qing, someone recently gave Fang Yizhi's son an idea."

"What idea?" Gu Qing asked while eating.

"Your son." Li Tai said.

"Fatty, you are getting more and more joking. My son is busy learning martial arts with Zhang Yugong every day or learning etiquette with Wu Mei. How can he have the time to give advice to Fang Yizhi's son?"

"It's a coincidence." Li Tai said, "On that day, Brother Fang's son was reprimanded by Brother Fang, and after the meeting, his son took my son to play around. , delayed their studies, you said that two children should delay their studies together when playing together, but the son of the house brother has gradually improved his studies, but my son has fallen behind, do you think it is strange?"

"What's so strange about this, the brother-in-law was born in my teacher's family, maybe it's because of his talent."

"No and no." Li Tai shook his head and said.

"It's Brother Fang's son, and he studies secretly every night." Li Tai continued, "Brother Fang and I both found abnormalities. After several inquiries, we realized that it was your son who gave Brother Fang his son an idea. , it must have been instructed by you, Gu Qing."

"Do I seem like a boring person?"

"That's true." Li Tai said, "I even scolded my own son. After knowing the truth, I feel very guilty. Tell me. Gu Qing, how will you compensate me?"

"Fatty, are you joking?" Gu Qing also said, "Let's not interfere with the children's affairs, besides, my son is going to study in the academy now."

While talking, little Gu Xiao was eating candied chestnuts and passing by their dining table.

"Stop, kid!" Li Tai said to Gu Xiao, "Is it your idea for Fang Yizhi's son?"

"I didn't give him any advice, I just enlightened him." Little Gu Xiao said with a cute face, "Could it be that Uncle Wei Wang wants to embarrass the boy?"

Hearing this, Li Tai glanced at Gu Qing, and indeed it seemed inappropriate for him to question a junior like this, so he could only say, "I will give advice to my son in the future, don't let Fang Yizhi's son take advantage of it."

"Boy, I still don't quite understand what Uncle Wei Wang means." Little Gu Xiao said.

Gu Qing could see that this kid knew in his heart that he was pretending to be confused and wanted to take advantage of it.

Li Tai took out a token from his bosom, handed it to Gu Xiao's little hand and said, "With this token, you can enter and leave the academy as you like, and you can also enter the Library Pavilion of the academy."

"Thank you Uncle Wei Wang!" Little Gu Xiaoxi smiled, "Boy will definitely give advice to Uncle Wei Wang's son in the future, Uncle Wei Wang can rest assured."

"Remember, it can only be a good idea, let alone a bad idea, do you know?" Li Tai asked.

"Understood." Little Gu Xiao jumped away happily.

Withdrawing his mind, Li Tai fished out a piece of meat from the hot pot again and put it in his mouth, "Gu Qing, your son's spirit energy is exactly the same as yours, I'm afraid there will be another disaster in the future."

"Eat as soon as you eat, don't beat around the bush, okay?" Gu Qing drank the wine by himself.

"Hahaha." Li Tai smiled unkindly.

Having dinner with Li Tai at home, the two had a good soak in the hot water pool, and Li Tai also left happily.

After Li Tai left, two more guests from the Gu family came, Xu Jingzong and Li Yifu came again, and brought a lot of local products from their hometown, Fan Jian collected them one by one, and brought them to Gu Qing.

"I have seen Hou Ye."

"I have seen Hou Ye."

Xu Jingzong and Li Yifu saluted repeatedly.

"Okay, it's saluting and gift giving, I know what you mean." Gu Qing looked at the two with a smile, "Last time, what was the name of that guy you mentioned? How did that guy offend you?"

"The Minister of the Ministry of Officials Yang Shidao!" Xu Jingzong said, "This guy is domineering and domineering. He transfers the officials in the court at will. I really can't bear it. The new officials are still in the probationary period. The subordinates have also been transferred away, and they are still the old people left behind by Master Hou when he was in charge of Shang Shuling. I really can't bear it, but this guy has Li Chengqian behind him. Opening one eye and closing one eye is simply abhorrent!"

"That's true, and the same is true for me at the Yushitai." Li Yifu also said, "The Yushitai is in charge of the supervisory power, and the people who were already familiar with it were just transferred away. Now the people on hand don't even know me."

"Li Chengqian wants Yang Shidao's hand to cut off your wings, right?" Gu Qing pondered.

Now that everyone is a member of Lord Gu, and everyone knows it well, Xu Jingzong no longer hides it, "Master Hou, one or two are fine, but if we continue to cut it off like this, it will really make it difficult for the lower officials to sit still." install."

"Master Hou, everyone knows what Li Chengqian and Yang Shidao are thinking." Li Yifu also said, "Shang Shuxing and Yushitai have exchanged blood several times, Li Chengqian's meaning is already very clear, I am afraid it is not as simple as cutting off our wings."

"Oh?" Gu Qing became interested, "Go on."

Xu Jingzong looked up at Gu Qing's face and said, "We are under Lord Hou's command. The reason why Li Chengqian let Yang Shidao do this is to remove our influence and find someone to replace us. Lord Hou What Li Chengqian did is not only to deal with us, but also to deal with Lord Hou."

"It's really too much." Gu Qing said indifferently, "Is this Yang Shidao and Li Chengqian very close?"

"It's very close." Xu Jingzong nodded, "After almost every court meeting, Yang Shidao would go to Ganlu Hall to talk with Li Chengqian about the current court affairs."

"A small official secretary is nothing to be afraid of, and it is not difficult to deal with." Gu Qing turned and said, "You find an opportunity to have a long talk with Yang Shidao's subordinate Bingzhu."

Li Yifu said doubtfully, "I don't understand what Lord Hou means."

"Pingkang Fang is a good place to invite people to drink. I don't know if Master Yang likes drinking or not. You can try it." Gu Qing said with a smile.

"I understand." Xu Jingzong said, "Since he wants to deal with us, we will pretend to be good to him, pretending that we please Yang Shidao, and instead stab Yang Shidao in the back, even if Yang Shidao is not good, we can be under Yang Shidao Do it, let Yang Shidao not die, but also peel off his skin, as for what kind of wine he drank, how to drink it, you don't need to say, I will know how to do it later."

Gu Qing nodded, "It's good to know, can I see off the guests?"

Li Yi's mansion suddenly realized, "Your Majesty's plan is really extremely insidious, I admire you."

"Why does it sound like you're scolding me?" Gu Qing scratched his ears, "This year's new court meeting will be held in two days, you should go back early, lest people know that you are walking around my place, and it is inevitable that people will talk too much , go back earlier, you can rest assured that I will help you in the court, and someone will respond to you, just don't worry.

"Thank you, my lord."

Xu Jingzong and Li Yifu left together.

The house became quiet again, Fan Jian came to Gu Qing's side and said, "Patriarch, an urgent letter from Goguryeo."

Gu Qing took the letter and opened it to look at it. This letter was sent by the eyeliner of the Wa Kingdom. The road from the Wa Kingdom to Goguryeo and then to the Central Plains has been used by Li Shimin to deliver his own goods. The situation of the Wa Kingdom Occasionally, it would be sent from this road. When I opened the letter and looked at the contents, Wu Laoqi stole two sea boats and fled with more than a dozen people. Not long after he fled, Goguryeo was attacked by pirates. It is still a firearm of the Tang Dynasty, and the King of Goguryeo has sent envoys to ask for clarification.

Chapter 928 Exercise?

"Patriarch, do you want to suppress the news of this matter?" Fan Jian asked in a low voice.

"It can't be suppressed. They sent envoys. Could it be that I sent someone to kill the envoys?" Gu Qing said with a smile.

"I'm going to arrange people to intercept and kill them at Shanhaiguan." Zhang Yugong said expressionlessly.

"Don't." Gu Qing hurriedly called Zhang Yugong to stop, "You don't want to know about killing and killing all day long, if you kill, the misunderstanding will really get bigger and bigger."

"But it's about the leakage of Tang's firearms. I'm afraid there will be voices in the court to deal with the Lord Hou." Fan Jian said worriedly.

The matter of the sea trade was facilitated by his own patriarch. If something goes wrong, the officials of the court and the central government will definitely speak out, and it is also a sensitive period for the court and the central government. It is very detrimental to his Lord Marquis to spread such voices.

Gu Qing sighed for a while, this Wu Laoqi is also really good, when it is not good to do it, he just does it now, Wu Laoqi, a pirate, exists to consolidate Datang's strength at sea, without comparison, there will never be strength to suppress, at sea It's not a bad thing to pose a big enemy. As long as Wu Laoqi, a pirate, exists, whoever wants to do maritime trade depends on his own face.

In the future, resources will be sent to Wu Laoqi. At this juncture, Wu Laoqi cannot have an accident.
